Royal Enfield says test rides will last up to 40 minutes, with riders able to enjoy scenic routes across varied roads. Booking is free and can be done by heading over to the Woodcote Events page. 

As well as test ride opportunities, Royal Enfield is planning to show off several bikes from the last 124 years. Some of those models will include a 1951 500 Twin which can be viewed in Hall 2, and a 1903 Royal Enfield 277cc and 1924 Model 201A (Ladies Model), both of which will be showcased from Hall 4. Finally, there will be an ex-Johnny Brittain 1950 350 Trials Bullet in Hall 5.

Royal Enfield’s history as a motorcycle manufacturer began with the company’s first ever Bullet model, which was produced in 1901. Many evolutions of the Bullet have taken place since then, leading to the current 350cc model which features a single-cylinder engine that produces 20.2bhp at 6,100rpm and 20 Ib ft of torque at 4,000rpm.  

Alongside several vintage Royal Enfield models will be various rare and classic bikes from other brands, with over 1,000 motorcycles expected to be on display at the NMM Live event. 

Guided museum tours with Classic Bike Magazine’s Rick Parkington will also be available on both days, while motorcycles can park for free at the event. Test rides will take place on an hourly basis, running between 9am and 4pm.
